C++ dependency setup and maintenance still slows down many teams. In my Pure Virtual C++ 2026 session, I show a terminal-first workflow that ends with a working CLI app that formats and prints programming quotes, built with CMake and Microsoft C++ (MSVC) Build Tools. All of this is powered by GitHub Copilot CLI, which …

With the stock firmware and software, developers couldn't modify their AWS DeepRacer devices to use the latest operating systems. Now, developers can upgrade or install a custom operating system (OS) by using a newly released bootloader, which extends the life of these hardware devices. In this post, we introduce the …

In this post, we show how Amazon Quick can serve as the business-user front door for specialized agent workflows. We use the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit to build a supply-chain risk example that helps a planner move from an Amazon Quick dashboard and knowledge context to a guided mitigation recommendation. Link to …

Often in applications, we write database queries. And often, the same query is executed again and again. To make queries against large tables faster, we can add an index. This is a general improvement for anyone accessing the table. However, there is a specially designed index called a covering index that can make …

If you use the Azure Cosmos DB vNext emulator, you probably know the local development loop: start the emulator, connect to it, create some resources, load test data, run queries, and inspect the results. Each step is straightforward, but together they add setup work before you can test the application you are actually …

Suppose you have some C++/WinRT code that receives a delegate from an outside source, and you might invoke that delegate from a potentially different COM context. However, the original delegate may not be agile. How can you make an agile version of that delegate? The easy way is to wrap the delegate in an agile_ref …

One of the design choices Google made when developing Go was to abstract memory management away from developers so they could focus on what really matters – writing code. Things like escape analysis and garbage collection are thus automatic, and the Go compiler works in almost mystical ways. That’s one of the best …

Does “rtk” reduce Claude Code token usage? Part 2 of a series where we take public “token saving” add-ons for coding agents and run the same paired A/B benchmark against each of them. Part 1 was the caveman skill (advertised −65%, measured −8.5%). TL;DR: rtk advertised saving: 60–90%. Measured on real agent work: +7.6% …
